Just like the first game, the Eagles pounded Waldorf College early by scoring five of their 10 runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back.  OKWU took advantage in the contest thanks to four Waldorf errors.  Aaron Garner went the distance to remain unbeaten this year with a 7-0 record.  In seven innings of work, Garner gave up a run on six hits and struck out five Waldorf batters. Cummings went 3 for 4 with a double and 3 RBI's while Butler went 2 for 4 at the plate.  Espinoza continued to be hot at the plate as he went 2 for 4 with a RBI and Koeiman went 2 for 3.  Austin Murphy and Flores each got a hit.

The Eagles are now 40-9 overall and 19-5 in MCAC play.  Next up for OKWU will be Tuesday night as they will host Oklahoma City University at Doenges Stadium at 6 o'clock.
